Cloudy Bay

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Light lemon color with aromas of citrus and tropical fruits and floral notes. On the palate flavors of grapefruit, green apple and pear fruit flavors, some grassy tones, lively acidity. Medium+ finish ending with fruit, herbal, floral, grassy and mineral notes. Lightly chill so you can experience all of the nuances while you sip this fine wine. Nice, consistent. — 14 days ago

I used to drink a lot of that back in the day

Whitehaven

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Pale gold in color; passion fruit, honeydew, and lemon on the nose; high acidity; tastes like lemongrass, white peach, and saline with a long finish. After some time in the glass, it had a jalapeño flavor that was a little less pleasant, but still good. — 6 days ago

Felton Road

Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2019

Rich and mouth filling in the luscious Felton Road style. Only 20% whole bunch letting the quality of the ripe fruit speak. Intense red and black fruits - raspberry to the fore. This is just a “village “ wine in comparison to their illustrious Block 3 and Block 5 but it more than holds its own. Impossible not to enjoy this wine. — a month ago

@Somm David T It’s certainly up there isn’t it David. I used to enjoy Mount Difficulty as well but don’t see it as much these days.

Yep. I enjoy the hell out of their Chardonnay but it is much more difficult to find than their Pinot in the US.

Good wine, Zyns-a-nator said it’s about as good as Wairau River, but just a different flavor overall that she prefers less. — 12 days ago
